The Tech-Center Control Technology of the thyssenkrupp AG assigned Computer Science 7 to analyze the optimal dispatch of a cement plant by a combined optimization and simulation model. Mainly cost reduction potentials should be determined by optimizing the cement production considering the integration of storage within the whole production process. Furthermore, a redox-flow batterie and a wind powerplant were added to the cement plant in order to determine possible cost savings by reducing the g... Weiterlesen →

The chair of Computer Science 7 (Computer Networks and Communication Systems) organized the 5th GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch Inter-Vehicle Communication (FG-IVC 2017), April 6-7 2017.
Under the presence of a local television channel, numerous participants from the IVC-Community were initially inspired by a very interesting impulse speech by Dr. Sigfried Balleis (former mayor of the city of Erlangen and team member of the "German Innovation Lab"). Afterwards, young researchers have presented and d... Weiterlesen →

On September 11, 2016, the Energy Campus Nuremberg presented research projects and their applications at the "Open on AEG" event. The Chair of Computer Science 7 gave interested citizens an insight into the current research in the field of smart energy systems. With efficient simulation tools, energy systems are modeled from a single household to residential areas, distributed battery systems, industrial processes up to the entire electrical power supply. The efficiency potential for the use of ... Weiterlesen →

The Chair Computer Science 7 for Computer Networks and Communication Systems is going to present three papers at this year's Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC 2016) in Columbus, Ohio. The conference is one of the most important platforms for the scientific exchange between researchers in the field of vehicular networks. The research team around David Eckhoff and Reinhard German will be presenting their work on the impact of antenna patterns on VANET simulations, a holistic approach to solve t... Weiterlesen →

Evaluation of Adaptive Channel Access Mechanisms in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks
Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETS) are one of the most topical subjects in current transport system research. Especially for safety applications, it is of paramount importance to make perfect use of the given wireless channel capacities. Therefor mechanisms, that provide an optimal channel behavior towards the criteria of those applications are highly appreciated.
In this bachelor thesis, we will have a look at t... Weiterlesen →

Multipath transport protocols (MPTCP and CMT-SCTP)
The bonding of multiple internet access links can increase performance as well as reliability. In the TMC-IPv6 project the combination of terrestrial and geostationary satellite links, which suffer from large propagation delay, is of special interest. At the transport layer there are two multipath approaches: Multipath TCP (MPTCP, RFC 6824) and Concurrent Multipath Transfer SCTP (CMT-SCTP). In this work, MPTCP and CMT-SCTP shall be compared wit...
